About the Courageous Cook

My name is Haley, I live in Austin, Tx and have established a personal goal of providing delicious food for my family and friends. Along the way, I’ve decided to share that food with you as well. According to my husband, Brian, everything I make is incredible, so I hope you enjoy the food as much as he does!

What You’ll Get

These are my stories about life, food and the pursuit of happiness. You’ll frequently see recipes in addition to a story, all of which are original unless otherwise noted and usually quite delicious. Please feel free to try out any recipe and let me know what you think.

Culinary School

I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts – Austin in July of 2010. Culinary school not only taught me the tips and tricks to creating gastronomic delights but also made me realize my life goals and what I am personally capable of achieving through hard work and will power.
